Are quest NPCs immortal?
Damn, the game has lived up to my expectations just only based on the first few hours. I've just been spending most of my time around Riverwood, in fact, I've not done much exploration at all. I did find

Combat feels improved, meatier and it feels good to get a finisher. I'm still combining combat styles using destruction and one handed weapons as well as two handed.

Just found out that the install size for this game on the 360 is 3.8gb. That's surprising. With a game that's over 100hours with tons of audio, I would've thought it'd be on two discs!

I'm trying to stay away from these threads, but I just can't seem to stop torturing myself.
Both my wife's car and my car started acting up this week, and we decided we need to replace both early next year, so we're on spending hiatus. Last night I resorted to booting up Morrowind.

The performance in the first hour is pretty dreadful, it gets much better before long thoughzedge said:

I enjoy it. Magic usage is much smoother. I am casting in one hand, sword in other. Its a lot more involved this time around, because you can't just go in with a sword and keep pressing a trigger to win.

Um, I just got my head put down on the chopping block and now I seem to be stuck there, is there something I can do to make the game progress? I'm on the ps3 version.

You learn the shouts from word walls, you can use the shout if you spend the dragon souls on the word

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Okay... I passed through the intro (even with sensitivity and sound problems)... best intro in an Elder Scrolls game. Color me surprised, I'm loving it.

So, so good.
That starting area is so unimpressive but once you leave that certain place and see the world in front of you...my god. It's glorious. Really digging my Breton battlemage type character so far, can't wait to dive back in after work. Also, 3rd person is actually pretty awesome this time.
Norua said:Downloading it on Steam right now. Don't know why, but the download is SLOW. Like 70 KB/S slow. Is it because Steam is overwhelmed by all the downloads or something? Because aside of that my connexion seems fine.

Yeah, I installed it from disk but it won't let me play until it downloads some updates or some such, they're coming down at 40 kbs grr argh.
First it wouldn't let me play yesterday when my game arrived early, now it won't let me play even though I've intalled the damn thing.

Completed my first dungeon, it was fantastic! A real step up in variety and atmosphere, plus my pockets are now overflowing with loot - excellent!
Loving the spells so far, they sound great too (as does the music!).

I've already become a klepto and have close to 3k gold in only like 5 hours. Pickpocketing and all the other thief/assassin skills are too much fun now. Bethesda seems to have really knocked the leveling out of the park with this, lots of cool perks and only so few points to get them. Encourages lots of sacrifice and experimentation, as well as multiple playthroughs.

Did all copies come with the map printed on thick hessian / burlap kind of paper in the end? I recall it being touted as some kind of pre-order bonus with others receiving a standard glossy paper edition, but I bought it today and it came with the fancy one.

What's the best difficulty to go with? Do enemies still scale and stuff?
I'll happily play it on expert but not if it just means 20 hits instead of 10.

Just hit lvl 10 on my Nord warrior. This game is fucking amazing. I can't think of a single complaint.
Now, as I always do in TES games, I'm making my alt. Gonna roll a mage/assassin. Dunmer I think. Focus on Destruction, Illusion and Stealth. Should be interesting...lol
Also, where do I find the Dark Brotherhood? I got a quest about some girl looking for them or something but when I try to find the location it tells me to go off the coast past Windhelm...

I have a question for you, my dear Skyrim players:
I need a dagger. Or more "sneaky sneaky" weapons. I'm doing missions for the dark brotherhood, but I just don't like to kill people with dual swords or something, it's just not right.
Does anyone know where I can get some? Am I missing something?
